Volunteer Greets Players During the Know Your Status Football Tournament

July 24th, 2011 - Volunteer Brian Bartley shakes hands with a local football team competing in the North Bank region's first annual Know Your Status Football Tournament. Organized by three environment Volunteers, and one health Volunteer, the Know Your Status Football Tournament used The Gambia's favorite sport to bring large crowds of people together to teach them about HIV/AIDS, the causes of it, how to prevent it, and ways to reduce stigmatization of People Living with HIV (PLH). Shaking hands with both teams prior to kick-off was a tradition that began with the first game, and continued until the final game on July 31st, 2011.
